The next day, Arlan woke up with a mild headache. He had a lot of things to think and this made him unable to sleep well every night. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he saw his disheveled and tired appearance. "I think I need to relax somewhere." He muttered to himself as he grabbed his phone.
The first thing he did was to claim his daily reward from the mysterious app.
[Congratulations! You claimed Catastrophe-Class Deep Blue Submarine Blueprint!]
Arlan frowned when he saw the reward. Lately, the mysterious app has been giving him advanced weapon technologies. He even wondered if it was preparing him for a third world war.
Arlan stared at the blueprint and was amazed by the power of the submarine. It could also withstand water pressure at deep levels which was impossible for the submarines at present. If this submarine technology was made public, he was certain that it would cause a major war!
'The Arms Corporation of Maharlika is still working on the Black Dragon Assault Helicopter. I will give this blueprint to them after they are done with that project. I will keep this for now.' Arlan kept the blueprint inside his secret safe box. The original copy of the Black Dragon Assault Helicopter Blueprint was also there.
After keeping the submarine blueprint, Arlan headed to his study. Upon entering the room, he saw Winter sitting behind his desk. She was still working on the system for the Virtual World.
Winter already noticed his presence, but she didn't even lift her head to greet him. While keeping her eyes on the computer, she pointed at the hard drive on the table. "The information you want is already inside. You can check them yourself." She muttered indifferently.
Arlan nodded his head as he grabbed the hard drive. "Thanks."
He stood behind Winter and looked at the computer screen to see what she was doing. However, he found himself unable to comprehend what she was doing.
"Leave. Don't disturb me." Winter's cold voice drifted into his ears.
Arlan shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't offer her any help so he just left the room. "That girl is even colder than the stocked hotdog in my fridge..." He muttered in regret.
While going downstairs, Arlan called Karl and told him to report the situation at the factory.
"Boss, everything is going well. We've also received the new weapons and equipment. You don't have to worry about the matters here, boss. Just leave it to me."
Arlan disconnected the call after hearing Karl's report. The Black Dragon Assault Helicopter Project would take some time so he could only patiently wait for the researchers to get some results.
When he arrived in the living room, he saw Khalon standing straight like a pole. "Boss!" He greeted Arlan in his usual stern voice.
The maids who were cleaning the living room also greeted him. "Good morning, boss!"
"Good morning, everyone." Arlan greeted them. "What do we have for breakfast?" He asked with a smile.
Among the eight maids, one of them was a former head chef in a high-end restaurant and she was mainly responsible for cooking their food.
"Boss, Elisse prepared chicken adobo for us this morning. She also prepared fried eggs and fresh lumpia."
Arlan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Adobo was his favorite dish. Back then, he always requested his mother to cook this dish on his birthday. "Sounds good! Let's go eat together! You can tell your families to dine with us." Arlan said excitedly as he walked towards the kitchen.
The maids stared at his back with gratified smiles on their faces. It was rare to find such a caring boss. He was a billionaire, but he didn't look down on them and their families. He even treated them like they were a part of his family.
"Boss?" Elisse was surprised when she saw her boss entering the kitchen.
"Go on. I'm only here to observe." Arlan said as he stared at the food she was cooking.
"Are you already hungry, boss? This will be ready in ten minutes." Elisse felt a bit nervous because of his presence.
"Alright." Arlan nodded at her words. He then turned his gaze at her and he couldn't help but admire this meticulous woman. Elisse wasn't that pretty and she was even slightly chubby. She was also very shy around other people and she rarely talks. However, she was a great cook.
Arlan no longer disturbed her and left the kitchen.
Soon, their breakfast was served and everyone dined together. This rarely happens so everyone was still very conscious around Arlan, their rich and powerful boss.
While they were eating, Arlan noticed that everyone was strangely silent. "Everyone, do you have anything planned today?" He asked.
Everyone stared at him and shook their heads.
"We don't have anything planned for today, boss."
"We have nothing to do, boss."
That was the kind of reply he got from them.
"Is that so? How about we go out for a two-day vacation? Everyone can join us." Arlan wanted to relax his mind. He had been working a lot recently and he might go insane if he place no importance on his mental health. It was also a good opportunity to know more about the people living in his mansion. Although he already knew their names, he haven't had the chance to interact with them.
When they heard his words, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Boss, I'll be the first one to approve this plan!" Thelma gave him a thumbs up. She was already quite close with Arlan after their recent trip to Paris so she wasn't afraid to voice out her opinion.
"Boss, Joy is still in school. We'll catch up with you guys." Catherine muttered apologetically.
"It's fine. We can wait for everyone to come back. If no one is against it, then it's decided. You guys should prepare your things since this is a two-day vacation, maybe three." Arlan chuckled.
"Yes, boss!"
"Okay, boss!"
Everyone excitedly replied.
